Winter 2021 LC Thread—I Want Sous Vide

Alternatively, could the defense have tried to get depraved heart murder added to the charges?

Watching the Kennedy Center honors with my parents. A bunch of old white people just all spontaneously stood up for Stevie Wonder. I love Stevie Wonder btw.

Imagine if someone nuked that whole theater. All the rich old Democrats would be out of the way and society could actually progress forward. I want to be clear that I am not actually advocating nuking the theater.

James Franco is probably the first actor I would have guessed had a sex addiction.

I don’t know man…sets a bad precedent. What’s to stop me from selling all my bootleg Clapton cd’s now that I know he won’t collect on the damages?

Nothing like googling how to do an emergent procedure at the end of a long night shift filled with covid.

That’s atrocious. It’s superficial decoration that has no relation to the building’s structure or how the space might be used by humans. Postmodernism at its worst.

About those buildings being for - or having anything to do with - the poor in Bolivia…

“There have always been rich Aymara, but before Evo, they were timid. They didn’t want to draw attention to themselves,” Mamani said.

“Now they say, ‘This is where the successful Aymara live.’ They are proud of Evo, and they say, ‘I have wealth, I can show it off. I don’t have anything to hide.’”

Most of Mamani’s buildings are five or six storeys tall, with bold facades of Andean symbols, tinted glass and geometric patterns in relief. Each unique structure is an all-in-one compound to meet all the commercial, familial and aesthetic needs of the modern, urban Aymara.

The ground floor offers commercial space that the owner can use or rent. The second and third floors are exuberant ballroom spaces meant for weddings, parties and the quinceañeras , “Sweet 15” birthday celebrations that Bolivians wouldn’t think of having at home.

Covering the fourth and fifth floors are rooms for rent, or apartments for the owner’s family. At the top of the building, offset from the street, is a penthouse structure – the actual “chalet” typically with a gabled roof and huge windows to catch the sun and with views of snow-capped Andean peaks.

Most of his buildings cost between $300,000 and $600,000, Mamani said. Some even more.
